Seminar talks potential, opportunities in vocational training
Hanoi (VNA) – A seminar on
international cooperation in vocational education was held in Hanoi on November
15 to seek ways improving training quality.
The event was organised by the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training (DVET) in collaboration with the International
Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) and the International Cooperation Agency of Germany (GIZ).
Participants at the event were
updated about orientations, potential and opportunities of bilateral and
multilateral cooperation among vocational training establishments, especially
between the DVET and
international agencies and organisations.
They highlighted a need to step up
digital transformation and renew methods of vocational training, contributing
to maintaining the stability of labour market, improving labour productivity
and national competitiveness amid the fourth industrial revolution.
Statistics from the DVET showed
that via international cooperation projects, nearly 5,000 lecturers and education managers have been trained, about 200 others joined training courses in Malaysia, Australia, Germany, France,
Japan, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan (China). As many as 655 teachers attended short-term courses transferred by Australia and Germany in Vietnam.
However, the figures remain modest
compared to nearly 90,000 lecturers in vocational training establishments
nationwide./.
